NextJS: ContentLayer Makes Markdown GLOW Up!

[@felemeria]

Looking forward to more details about this process. Interested in seeing an end-to-end demo if possible. I have been looking for a similar tool, so this is intriguing.

Thanks for introducing me to the library! I too have a markdown blog and I parse the files on my own on buildtime. I need to take a look at the library.

This is such a great introduction to using mdx in Next.js!

I love all your videos! Just one question: how do you manage to create your content in both French and English? That's mind-blowing!

[@KodapsAcademy]

It’s a challenge to find the time (but it helps being a Brit who has grown up in France ;))

[@art-sider]

@@KodapsAcademy I really appreciate the effort you put in to provide quality content in French. It helps me a lot because I have some difficulty with English. I am subscribed to your two KZbin channels.👌🏾😀

Wooo really loved the explanation, however already have a system implemented and will have to make some mapping whit the data & components instead

[@steadycursor]

Hey. Great video, I like your approach. I've recently found easier ways to get typesafe markdown files via library zod-matter. It still fetches data from the drive, not pregenerated like you are mentioning, but still, seems pretty straigtforward way to do it if you are starting out and want to be sure that you do not have any spelling errors in your code. Few days ago I published video (Unlocking Typesafe Markdown with Next.js & TypeScript) on this topic, I would love to hear what you think about this approach.

Thanks for the overview and information. However, It looks like content layer library hasn't been maintained for a while, and even their docs pages don't work, therefore I'm not sure if it's safe to use it

[@nicolaime1907]

Do you know something similar?

[@KodapsAcademy]

The problem is that the maintainer’s company was purchased by a bigger company and he now does not have the means to spend time on it. I don’t know of any good alternatives just yet.

[@Munk-tt6tz]

@@nicolaime1907 Not really, for now I decided to do with Astro.js as it suffices for my needs

hi, does Contentlayer support Next 14?

[@artu-hnrq]

Great review!

[@utkuhaydanli]

Is there a way to add multi language support to Content Layer supported blog articles? (in Nextjs 14 App router specifically)

[@KodapsAcademy]

I actually use ContentLayer for my (multi language) blog, but the multilanguage part is not specific to ContentLayer, I simply store the alt language link in the FrontMatter and use that to switch languages

[@utkuhaydanli]

thanks a lot@@KodapsAcademy very helpful
